Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Providing a pamphlet to a patient to reinforce previously taught material does not require nursing judgment and can safely be delegated to UAP. Demonstration of how to take a temperature accurately, determining the best time for teaching, and evaluation of the success of patient teaching all require judgment and critical thinking and should be done by the registered nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Adult education is most effective when focused on information that the patient thinks is needed right now. All of the indicated information will need to be included when planning teaching for this patient, but the teaching will be most effective if the nurse starts with the patient's stated priority topic.
